The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 161 Arrival
Although Huo Jiu's mouth was tough at this time, his heart had already softened and he didn't dare to resist any more.After all, when I came out to fight just now, I saw how useless the 2000 troops I brought with me were, and they didn't do much, so I hid aside and didn't dare to resist.Huo Jiu reluctantly followed Feng Mo to Jia Ke's Chinese army camp.

As soon as Huo Jiu entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw a young general sitting in the center with his face full.Although he is not very young, his prestige is not small, and there is a strong smell of blood on his body.At first glance, he is a battle-tested general.

At this time, Huo Jiu no longer dared to underestimate Jia Ke, not to mention anything else, the murderous aura on his body alone was much heavier than his own.At first glance, he is a murderous and ruthless character.

Feng Mo entered the tent, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and reported to Jia Ke, "General Qi, Huo Jiu has already been brought to the tent."

Jia Ke said indifferently: "Since you have brought it, you can go back to work and stand."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Feng Mo immediately came to the top left, stood there straight and did not speak.

Seeing this formation, Huo Jiu knew something was wrong.Hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I am the commander of Xuanhua, Huo Jiu, I have seen Jia Shoubei."

Jia Ke didn't return the gift to him, but sat firmly in the center, and asked coldly, "Just now I was beating the drums to gather the generals, why didn't you come? Are you deaf and didn't hear the drums?"

Huo Jiu was very rude when he heard Jia Ke's words. At this time, he was also annoyed, and he reprimanded Jia Ke loudly: "I gave you face just now, and you are so shameless. Do you know who I am? I am the commander of Xuanhua, the third-rank officer , you are just a fourth-rank guard, and your official position is not as high as Wang Bada in the Jinshui River, how dare you be so unreasonable to me, don't you know the dignity? Don't you know the etiquette of the court?"

Jia Ke heard that he had started cursing from above, so she was not angry, but still asked in a cold voice, "I was beating the drum just now, why didn't you come?"

"Okay, Jia Ke, you are not done yet. Now, in the name of commander, I will deprive you of your military power. From now on, all the troops will be deployed by me. Without my order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier. "Huo Jiu said in a stern voice. In fact, his heart is pounding now, and he begins to expect that the little guard will be shocked by his power. As long as he can escape this disaster, he must let the little guard know how powerful he is.

Jia Ke sat in the center and watched him walk like a clown, and couldn't help laughing.

Huo Jiu was even more annoyed down there, and he put aside his thoughts of forbearance at the beginning, and said with fire in his eyes: "You Jia Ke, who has no boss, why are you laughing now? If you dare to disobey, I will read you a copy after the war. You can’t afford to go around. I know you have some skills, and I heard your reputation when you were in Xuanhua. But don’t forget that the court’s freedom of laws is not something you can do arbitrarily. "

Jia Ke ignored him, turned around and said to Huang Bofeng next to him, "Read the order from the Ministry of War to him, let him know why I restrain him, and let him know whether I have acted recklessly."

Huang Baifeng took a step forward, and said to the people in the big tent: "There is an order from the Ministry of War: order the garrison Jia Ke to send troops to rescue Xuanfu Town immediately. The officers and soldiers encountered along the way, regardless of their rank or strength, are controlled by Jia Ke. They were executed on the spot without any reason.”

After Huang Baifeng finished reading, Jia Ke turned around and said to Huo Jiu: "Did you hear clearly? This military order not only has the big seals of the adults in the Ministry of War, but also the emperor's jade seal. What do you think I should do now?" you?"

Huo Jiu suddenly came to his senses at this time. He was angry just now and said all his thoughts without considering the consequences. Only then did he feel scared. No wonder Jia Ke has always ignored him. Documents of the Ministry of War.With this document, Jia Ke is the commander in chief of this rescue.Anyone who disobeyed orders, Jia Ke could act with military law. Just now I threatened Jia Ke unscrupulously, and now I am afraid that this test will not pass.

Huo Jiu couldn't care about anything else at this time, only thinking about how to escape this catastrophe, so he fell to his knees with a plop, and begged Jia Ke: "Your Excellency is humble and confused, please look at me who doesn't know this order. Please spare my life, and in the next life I will definitely form a grass ring to repay my lord's kindness."

Jia Ke had already made up his mind to take him under the knife, not to mention the wanton insults he had given to him just now, which made me feel very annoyed. At this time, I didn't care about his pleadings, and announced loudly to the following: "Huo Jiu doesn't respect military orders, He intends to hold a superior officer hostage, control the military power, and plot wrongdoing. Not killing is not enough to enforce the military law. Come here, drag me out and behead him."

As soon as Jia Ke finished speaking, several swordsmen broke into outside the tent and dragged Huo Jiu out.Huo Jiu kept struggling and shouted: "My lord, spare my life, spare my life."

Jia Ke sat on it as steady as Mount Tai, as if she didn't hear it.After a while, the voice outside changed from pleading to scolding.After a while, it suddenly disappeared.

Soon there was a swordsman dragging Huo Jiu's head on a wooden pallet, and entered the tent for Jia Ke to examine.Jia Ke glanced at the heads on the plate, and then said to the people below: "Many of you are serving under my command for the first time, and you don't know my temper. Now I will tell you, the so-called Your credit will not be missed, but whoever of you dares to violate the military order will be your end."

The people below who had just entered Jia Ke's army were all pale and trembling.They are all stragglers from various ministries, they have just been recruited by Jia Ke, and they don't know Jia Ke's temper yet.

Seeing a commander now, Jia Ke killed as soon as he said he would. This is a member of the third rank.Originally, they expressed dissatisfaction with Jia Ke's disruption of the original organization and reorganization of the troops, but now they dare not have any complaints.

Jia Ke saw that the faces of all the generals were frightened, and he knew that it was almost done, so he said to the swordsman, "Hang this man's head on a high pole, and show it to the whole camp. Let all the officers and soldiers know what happens if they violate the military order."

The knife and axe listened to Jia Ke's order, dragged the head and went out.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jia Ke killed Huo Jiu, the monkey, and policed ​​a group of chickens below.So he said to the following: "Hurry up and go back to eat and rest, continue to leave tomorrow morning, hope to reach Xuanfu Town as soon as possible, so as to relieve the danger of Jiedu Envoy."

All the generals, they dispersed one after another.After leaving the big tent, they talked while walking, expressing awe from the bottom of their hearts for Jia Ke's decisiveness and hotness.Any general who encountered this situation would at most put Huo Jiu under house arrest, and wait until the end of the war to deal with the court.However, Jia Ke dared to kill him to correct the military law, no matter what the purpose was, such courage is really admirable.

Next, Jia Ke disrupted the gathered army and reorganized the plan, which went very smoothly.Almost all the generals did not dare to disobey. After this time, Jia Ke had completely controlled the newly recruited 1 horses. After simple formation, although these people could not collide with the Tatars head-on, they waved their flags and shouted. Some tailwinds are still possible.

Early the next morning, the army set off again.This time, the newly returned personnel also tried their best to walk as neatly as the soldiers of Taiping Town. Although they could not be perfect, they had tried their best.After all, they have not been trained in this area.However, Jia Ke thinks that it is very good for them to have this attitude, which shows that they are actively moving closer to Kaiping Town.

The army marched for another day and a half, and finally approached Xuanfu Town at noon on this day.

As soon as Jia Ke led the army approached Xuanfu Town, there were countless Tatar cavalry wandering around. Jia Ke also sent his own cavalry to drive them aside to prevent them from approaching his main force.At the same time, the marching speed was slowed down, and the army in Kaiping Town even formed a neat Macedonian phalanx.The newly assembled troops also held steel knives and shields, and tried to maintain the same neat formation as the Macedonian phalanx.This made the Tatars have no chance to take advantage of them, so they could only monitor the team of tens of thousands of people from a distance, and slowly approached Xuanfu Town.

Arslen Khan received a secret report the day before, which said: Jia Ke set out from Kaiping Town to rescue Xuanfu Town with 1 horses. Sent by Arslen Khan.The purpose is to continue to conceal Tang Kuai's identity.Moreover, the army led by Jia Ke is mighty, and it is impossible to hide it at all. It is better to send this news in advance to cover Tang Kuai.

Arslen Khan was overjoyed at the time, he was defeated by Jia Ke last year.However, he thought that Jia Ke refused to defend the city back then, and Jia Ke was brave and good at fighting, which made his troops lose their vigor at the beginning, which made him have to retreat.Now the position of host and guest has changed. This time, let’s see how Jia Ke will fight against his 10,000+ troops. He arranges scouts to listen to the news of Jia Ke’s march along the way, and at the same time sends troops to prepare for when Jia Ke arrives in Xuanfu Town. Also give him a chance to wait for work, and let him suffer the consequences this time.

When Arslen Khan knew that Jia Ke would definitely arrive today, he waited for news from Jia Ke in the big tent to see if he could escape the surprise attack.

Not paying Arslen Khan's hope, he visited Ma to report at noon.

"Report to the Great Khan that Jia Ke's army was found 30 miles to the north."

Arslen Khan finally got the accurate news, and said with a sigh of relief: "As far as his troops are less than 1, what if they come? Have our troops started to attack him?"

When the scouts below heard what Arslen Khan said, they were taken aback for a moment, fearing that they would make a mistake, and hurriedly reported to Arslen Khan: "Khan, there are not ten thousand people here, but I think the other party is boundless, at least twenty thousand people. .And the military appearance is clean, and it looks like the elite of the Southern Dynasty. Our cavalry can't find any flaws in several raids. They are afraid of causing too many casualties, so they don't dare to charge, and they only monitor them nearby?"

Arslen Khan was also stunned when he heard this. He received a secret report from the spies in Kaiping Town, saying that Jia Ke had only brought 1 people with him. How come there are more than 2 people now?Could it be that other people and horses were transformed?However, the most likely ones were the rout soldiers recruited along the way. Arslen Khan was also a veteran on the battlefield. After a little thought, he could understand where these troops came from.But he was very curious about how Jia Ke managed to make these people so well-trained in such a short period of time.
